next appoitment

The next appointment was on Monday August 17th. We met with the oncologist to discuss a chemotheray regimen. The plan was simple, if chemo can be considered simple. Marie would do two forms of chemotherapy at the same time.

One would be a capsule form of temozolomide, taken orally, seven days on, and seven days off. The second type would be topotecan, injected into the reservoir in Maries head. This would flow down a tube into a cavity that the tumor(s) were located.

It would be a dual attack. One through the blood stream and one topically washing over the tumor. The hope was that one. or both of these methods might work to slow down growth. Stopping the growth would be the best case scenario.
